Interesting fact
The "Leeuwendaalder" coin from the Barony of Batenburg (Dutch States) has a unique feature - it has a hole in the center, which was used to thread a cord or chain through, allowing it to be worn as a pendant or amulet. This feature was not only practical but also symbolic, as it represented the connection between the coin's owner and the Dutch States.
